Help[Opinions] Jane vs. Jean
Which one and why?
What would you use as a middle name and what would you name a brother and sister?

Jane. Though, Jean has a older, classic Hollywood feel.
Jane and Jean are both good for middle names, but Jane seems more natural.

I would use Jean. Jean sounds like someone who would be up for a good time and who likes to be active. Jean Louise is very "To Kill a Mockingbird," but I like the pairing anyway, so I'll go with that.
Jane feels a bit tired and like a quiet mousy sort who is seen and not heard.
I would resist the urge to name her brother Levi since Levi Jeans wouldn't be funny for long. Ezra might work.
Delaney is one of the few surnames as first names that I really like for a girl, and it has similar energy to Jean.
Siblings: Jean, Ezra & Delaney

Jane all the way.
Jean has never, ever appealed to me. Even with my love of To Kill A Mockingbird back in junior high, I didn't like Scout's real name. (Louise eventually grew on me, and then Louisa.)
Jean is... well, jeans. (And Gene is "genes," which is why I don't like Gene either.) Not to mention that Jean is also a French masculine name; but the more feminine Jeanne doesn't appeal either because it sounds the same in English.
Jane used to be "plain" to me, when I was a kid, but I eventually came to love Jane's unforgettable simplicity.
Edit: I forgot the second part of your question. Here's my sibset:

Jane
It seems fresher, somehow, more timeless and open. A gentle dove grey as opposed to Jean's deep denim blue, but I like both.
